Scan your application
Your application consists of various elements, such as buttons, text fields, toolbars, frames, dialog windows, tables, and so on. These elements are called controls.
When you run your tests, you want Tosca Cloud to interact with these controls, so you can be sure they work as expected. For example, select a button, verify data in a table, enter text into an input field, or cancel a dialog.
To make this possible, you first need to scan your application. During the scan, you select the controls you want to test. Tosca Cloud grabs their technical information and creates a new module out of it. You can then use this module in a test case, where you tell Tosca Cloud what to do with the controls at runtime.
Before you start
Before you start scanning, check out our best practices for modules. They help you create modules that are intuitive to use, so you can quickly grab the right one for what you're trying to do. Even in environments with many testers creating modules.
Choose your scan
Tosca Cloud supports a wide range of technologies. For detailed information on how to scan them, check out these topics:
-
Scan web and desktop applications, to scan a variety of applications. For example, HTML-based web applications, SAP GUI for Windows applications, or Windows-based applications such as WinUI3, Windows Forms, or WPF.
-
Scan remote terminal applications, to scan Host emulator sessions and PuTTY terminal applications.
-
Scan desktop (image-based), to scan applications that aren't supported by any other scan.
